Egypt-U.S. Partnership Projects

Egypt-U.S. Partnership Projects

The people and governments of Egypt and the United States enjoy a long-standing partnership in a wide and diverse set of areas from economic development and medical research to exchange programs and cultural preservation. Egyptians and Americans work together on these projects for the sake of a better future for both countries in a spirit of mutual interest and mutual respect.

Egypt and the United States work closely together on developing Egypt's economy. U.S. taxpayers have contributed nearly $30 billion (178 billion Egyptian Pounds) towards this effort for decades. These funds have contributed to Egyptian projects to build capacity and develop resources.

The United States works with Egyptian and U.S. organizations to promote respect for human rights and political freedom, build a free and fair elections process, advance media professionalism and political party development, and increase youth and women’s participation.

Successful democratic transitions depend upon an expansion of growth and broad-based prosperity. Harnessing the energy and skills of Egypt's talented young men and women is a top priority for the Egypt-U.S. partnership through a variety of programs including entrepreneurship and vocational training initiatives.
